Excerpt from An Introductory Address to the Medical Class of '73, of the Albany Medical College, Union University: Delivered October 2, 1873
Nay, shines, all radiance, o'er the scattered fleet Of gulls and boobies brainless at its feet.
I tell their fate, though courtesy disclaims To call our kind by such ungentle names; Yet, if your rashness bid you vainly dare, Think of their doom, ye simple, and beware!
See where aloft its hoary forehead rears The towering pride of twice a thousand years! Far, far below the vast incumbent pile Sleeps the grey rock from art's O'ean isle; Its massive courses, circling as they rise, Swell from the waves to mingle with the skies; There every quarry lends its marble spoil, And clustering ages blend their common toil.
The Greek, the Roman, reared its ancient walls, The silent Arab arched its mystic halls; In that fair niche, by countless billows laved.
